If Bill Gates wants his own DNS system, I am sure he would just build it
into windows. ;-)
To show how simple it all really is, I have just setup .blah, you can go
to http://www.blah and it will just return a parking page.
You just have to change your DNS to dns1.vegas.com.au and whammo, there
you are.
It is easy enough, for you to change your search path to vegas.com.au
and if you type in www.hello.blah it will actually bring up another
page, as it does not exist in the .blah Zone file it will go to
www.hello.blah.vegas.com.au which is another web site. (I have not set
this portion up)
The issue in all this, and has been from dot day one, in the early
1990's, is "How do I propogate this into all DNS servers?". There is no
answer and it cannot be done unless ICANN allow it to propogate through
their Root Servers.
This is what Open-RSC have been trying to do, and others of course.
new.net just had the gall to spend a hell of alot of money on time, and
marketing, and I bet they are crossing their fingers that they got their
policies correct, ie: charge backs and the like, (again I have not
seen/read any policies yet).
Sorry just had to add my 2cents in.. ;-)
Cheerio.
